I have been on Cellcept for 2 1/2 years. I have had MS for 21 years and it secondary progressive. I have had wonderful results on cellcept without all of the side effects of the other meds. I can't take them because of severe adverse reactions.

I just started Cellcept a couple of months ago- am often cold, my hands start to shake, fingers get stiff, walking is worse (can hardly do it), and depression is bad. Char, I too have had MS for 21 years an am Secondary Progressive. When you started Cellcept, did you initially have new symptoms and /or worse existing ones? If so, how long before before they got better? If not, I'm glad you are feeling better and hope that I eventually realize similar results.

Mary, if you stopped abruptly, there is a risk of your experiencing rebound effects, according to FDA reports, so your symptoms may worsen, for awhile.

George, that is also normal. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? The FDA warns that other side effects may include chills, vomiting, constipation, sore throat, and itching.

How are you all doing, now? Did this medication help you?

How do you know if you're in remission? If you are still taking the medication?
